Napoli Interested in Acquiring Juventus Defender Gatti

According to recent reports, Napoli is showing interest in Juventus defender Federico Gatti. The Partenopei are exploring options to bolster their defensive line for the upcoming season.

Napoli, currently in a tight race for the Serie A title, trails the league leaders by just three points. With Champions League qualification all but secured for next season, the club is already planning ahead to reinforce Antonio Conte’s squad for the 2025-26 campaign.

Gatti, 26, has been a regular starter for Juventus this season, making 39 appearances across all competitions. However, he was notably left on the bench in their recent Serie A match against Fiorentina, raising questions about his future at the club.

The Italian center-back’s contract with Juventus runs until June 2028, which could make negotiations challenging. It remains to be seen whether Juventus would be willing to part ways with one of their key defenders.

Napoli’s interest in Gatti comes as part of their broader strategy to strengthen their defensive options. The club has reportedly already reached an agreement with Empoli for their promising young defender Luca Marianucci.

As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Napoli’s moves to reinforce their squad as they aim to compete at the highest level both domestically and in Europe.
